Lydia Ko will be looking at making it a treble of trophies at the Aramco Saudi Ladies International at Royal Greens Golf and Country Club, as it has been announced that the event will be making a return to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on the Ladies European Tour.

It was first introduced to the Kingdom back in 2020, making it the first professional women’s golf event ever in Saudi Arabia and in 2023 the event saw an increased prize fund to USD$5 million which aligned the prize money alongside the Men’s PIF Saudi International, putting an emphasis on the ambition to attract the best golfers in the world to compete in the Kingdom, as well as inspiration for the next generation of golfers within the Kingdom.

The bolstered prize money made it the third most lucrative event on the Ladies European Tour (LET) and the biggest outside of the majors. Due to the success of the event and the Ladies First Club, which provides free golf across the country, 2024 is looking to be another fruitful year.
